Send us Fan Mail For several years now, we've been travelling through God's Word together. One passage at a time. One chapter at a time. One day at a time. And throughout that journey, I've heard a common desire expressed again and again: "I want to study the Bible more consistently, but I'm struggling to establish a rhythm that lasts." And for many of you, we have achieved that together through the Bible Journey Daily Podcast. Recently, an unexpected opportunity landed in my inbox that...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to our next episode in our study of Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Today we begin a new section—one that speaks directly to the heart, and to something every believer longs for but often struggles to cultivate: an attitude of gratitude.

One of them is consistently neg...

Episode Notes: Welcome to the final episode in our season spent in 1 and 2 Chronicles.

Episode Notes: As a rule, parents are meant to be magnificent role models for their children.

But we’ve all heard of parents who do damage to their children, parents whose influence was destructive rather than life‑giving. And ...

Send us Fan Mail Today’s episode is titled “The Consequences of Forsaking the Lord.” We all know that sin has consequences. We all know that turning away from the Lord carries a cost, but what do those consequences actually look like? How severe can they become, and how far-reaching can the fallout be? There are many answers to those questions found across the Bible, but since we’re studying 2 Chronicles today, we’re going to look at a passage that illustrates some of those consequences with ...

Send us Fan Mail Today’s episode is titled “How to Face Life’s Problems.” And that title captures the heart of 2 Chronicles 20. In our last episode, Jehoshaphat responded beautifully to a rebuke, with humility, repentance, and restoration. But now, in chapter 20, he faces something far more frightening: a crisis so overwhelming that he has no human solution. A vast army approaches. The nation is terrified. Jehoshaphat himself is afraid. The situation is impossible. And yet, what he does...

Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Today’s episode is titled “How to Respond to a Rebuke.” In our last episode, Jehoshaphat made a dangerous alliance with Ahab. We saw how he listened to the wrong voices, followed the wrong counsel, and how he nearly lost his life because of it. Now, in chapter 19, he returns home, and then God sends a prophet to rebuk...

Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Today episode is titled “The Danger of False Preachers.” And that title, I believe, captures the central warning of 2 Chronicles 18. In our last episode, we saw Jehoshaphat at his best. He was balanced, wise, faithful, obedient, strengthening the nation spiritually and practically. But now, in chapter 18, we se...

Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: I’ve always admired people who seemed to live balanced lives — people who developed both their minds and their bodies, who cultivated both discipline and joy, who lived with both conviction and compassion. But for a long time, I never preached a sermon on balance, because I didn’t see that concept explicitly taught in Scrip...

Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: We all know believers who started well and ended poorly. Men and women who were once zealous for the Lord, who influenced others, who walked faithfully, but who, later in life, drifted, weakened, or stopped trusting God as they once did. Apparently, the Lord thinks we need to be reminded of that truth because He repea...

Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Today’s episode is titled “A Strategy for Renewal.” And that title, I think, captures the heartbeat of 2 Chronicles 15. This is a chapter that shows us how God renews His people, not by accident, not by emotion, not through crisis, although he can and does all of those things. But instead through a clear, God‑given st...

Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Life is not lived in one emotional key.

How do we walk with God in both? How do we remain faithful in good times and in bad? ...

All of us have lived through moments when life felt bigger than our strength. Moments when we felt outnumbered, outmatched, or simply out of options. Sometimes i...

Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: I wonder if sometimes we are even aware of what spiritual failure actually looks like in our daily lives.

Sometimes, it is easy to spot; it's an outward, undeniable disobedience to what...

Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: My title for this episode is “Living a Life of Contradictions. And if we’re honest, that describes most of us far more accurately than we’d like to admit. We tend to think of people as either obedient or disobedient to the Lord, as if life were neatly divided into two categories: the faithful and the unfaithful, the r...

Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.
